Sign up for the Monday Morning Memo from the Wizard of Ads. It is credited as a secret to the success of my friend who is the top ad executive at the top radio station in her market of 100,000+. I can see why, too; when reading Roy H. Williams (not the KU coach) I very often smack my forehead and exclaim "yes--he's so right!"
Blogs And Reality TV: The Changing Face of America
Do you remember when America watched awards shows?
If you were somehow unplugged and didn't receive the newsflash, the combined strength of Paul McCartney, Madonna, U2, Mariah Carey, Coldplay, Faith Hill and Jay-Z wasn't enough to swing the hammer and ring the bell during this year's Grammy Awards. A frail 17 million watched these legends read their cue cards while a muscular 28.3 million cheered hopeful, nameless kids singing their hearts out on American Idol.
It was just one more indication of how we're moving away from the vertical hero-worship of Idealism to establish the horizontal links that mark an emerging Civic generation.
